The man's face also became clearer in Qianye's field of vision...
Until you can see clearly.
Qianye suddenly stopped.
"Is it you?"
"Old man?"
Yes.
The man who was tied up by Qianye on the ground at this time was the old man who asked him not to talk to other villagers before.
He was thin and frail, and his gray hair made him look extremely old.
At this time, I was lying on the ground, coughing intermittently from time to time...
Qianye remembered what Anile said.
Her grandfather takes his little sister out every night.
Do it for a long time...
I’m here to play “zombie”!
"Old man?" Anile was awakened from the shock by Qianye's voice. She suddenly remembered that Qianye called her grandfather that way.
I don't care about 3721 at the moment.
He walked directly past Qianye, who had countless long houses growing out of his back, and walked up to the old man.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Aniel had no idea what was going on. Even though she was present at the scene from beginning to end, the scene she saw in front of her still made her feel stunned.
An old man who is not in good health.
Why did you climb up the mountain at such a late hour?
That huge boulder just now was made by grandpa?
Aniel already had a rough answer in her mind, but she was not willing to believe such a result.
She has lived with her grandfather since she was a child.
He couldn't accept the fact that his grandfather put down the boulder and wanted to trap him in the cave...
so.
She automatically made excuses for her grandfather...
"Were you also kidnapped here by bad guys?"
"The rocks just now were placed by bad guys, right?"
"It was only because we arrived just in time that the bad guys didn't have the chance to put you into the cave. Instead, they just caught you and walked to the entrance of the cave, where they found us in the cave..."
"He had no choice but to put down the boulder!"
I have to say.
Aniel's ability to think things through is really strong.
The reasons and excuses she found for her grandfather were feasible from a certain perspective.
but.
In the eyes of Qianye and Su Zao, who are outsiders.
The old man put that huge boulder there so it can't escape...
After they both walked out of the cave, they both felt that except for four people, there were no traces of anyone else's presence or escape.
Watching Anile subconsciously clear her grandfather's suspicion.
Qianye didn't know what to say at that moment...
"Grandpa, don't be afraid, I will get these things away for you right now!"
Aniel comforted her grandfather.
I don't know if it was because she was too worried, but she was extremely courageous at this time.
A second ago, Qianye was so frightened that he sat on the ground because of the strange insect on his body.
The next second I wanted to go straight to pull out the worm's tongue that was tied to the old man...
certainly.
The worm's tongue let her pull it however she wanted.
There was no movement at all.
Even Qianye didn't know how strong this thing was. How could it be said to be torn apart with just the strength of a little girl?
But I can't move my tongue.
Anile seemed to have realized something again.
He immediately turned around and protected the old man behind him, looking at Qianye and Su Zao with eager eyes...
"You guys, don't hurt my grandpa... He didn't do it just now, he, he is also a victim..."
I don’t know if it’s because of fear of Chino.
Or Aniel is actually not that confident and certain about her grandfather.
While she was talking.
The tone and voice don't seem that strong...
Regarding this.
Qianye could only sigh softly.
He retracted the strange bug trapped in the old man's body and drilled all his tongue back into his body. He wanted to express that his intentions were not bad, and if possible, he also wanted to have a good communication with Aniel.
"There's no one else here."
"You can see for yourself. We came out very quickly on such a rugged mountain road. If there were others, we would have noticed them when we came out."
Chino's meaning is very clear.
He told Anile clearly.
Except for her grandfather, no one else was present just now. The one who put down the boulder must be the old man...
"No, there are others, there are others...it's just that he runs fast..."
"By the way, it's because he runs fast! If we act now, we might still be able to find him!"
only.
Aniel is very protective of her grandfather.
Despite Qianye's obvious reminder, she was still trying to excuse her grandfather.
It's very possible that she also knows that what she just did was her grandfather, but she just doesn't want to admit it...
"Forget it, if you keep talking, I will treat you as one of my friends."
Qianye gave up the idea of communicating with Aniel. His eyes skipped Aniel and looked directly at the old man lying on the ground behind her: "How is it? Do you have anything to say?"
The old man probably understood that the methods of these two young men were beyond his imagination.
He had no intention of escaping after being untied.
Instead, he just lay on the ground.
Faced with Qianye's questions, he chose silence.
Without saying a word…
"I told you! There is nothing wrong with my grandfather! The person just now was not him!"
Aniel interjected.
Qianye couldn't bear the little girl's noise, so she immediately pulled her aside with her worm's tongue, and then sealed her mouth with tape so that she could no longer speak.
She could only make a "wow" sound...
"Okay, it's much quieter now."
Qianye sighed a little.
He pushed the wheelchair closer to the old man and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't speak. I probably want to understand something."
"If I guess correctly, those zombies...oh no, monsters, those monsters can still jump around even after they are dead, you should be the one to take care of them, right?"
Chino didn't beat around the bush.
State your speculation directly and clearly.
While talking, he also carefully observed the old man's expression to see how it would change...
"well."
I just didn't expect it.
The old man was not as good as Qianye expected. Even though he was exposed, his attitude towards Qianye remained the same as before, as if it was really the situation Aniel said, and he looked like he had been wronged and wronged.
Sighing very pitifully...
"Don't try to come up with anything to trick me. I'm not an honest person."
Qianye said verbally, then took out the ax head and put it on the old man's neck.
This scene not only made the old man's aggrieved expression freeze, but also startled Anile who was not far away.
Even Su Zao behind Qian Ye.
He also raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be a little interested in Qianye...
"To be honest, let's satisfy my curiosity."
"Of course, if you don't say it, I don't have to listen. Anyway, I won't die if I don't listen."
"Just not listening may make me feel irritable."
"Maybe I'll chop you down with an axe..."
Qianye said calmly.
His tone was very calm, and there was no telling what he was thinking in his eyes.
I don’t know if he will really be chopped down with an ax because the old man didn’t say anything...
Maybe.
This is also a hidden skill in Qianye.
Whenever he starts to threaten people, no one can be sure whether he is just threatening or really telling the truth...
Anil, who was standing beside her, couldn't stand looking any longer.
She was bound by the worm's tongue and made a "whimpering" sound like crazy.
Tears welled up in her eyes, as if begging Qianye to let her grandfather go.
If it weren't for the fact that her body was tied up and unable to move, I'm afraid she would have knelt down directly...
As for the old man involved,
I didn’t continue to pretend to be stunned.
He slowly got up from the ground with a red face, lowering his head and not looking directly into Qianye's eyes...
He seems to be a little afraid of this weirdo like Chino.
"I didn't do anything bad..." he said softly.
"I didn't say you did anything bad." Qianye frowned slightly and pressed the ax against the old man's neck a little harder.
The old man was frightened again.
"Well, I don't expect you to tell me the whole story. I plan to use the method of asking you to answer. If you tell the truth, I won't treat you like that."
"Yeah." The old man nodded lightly.
"Those zombies...oh no, monsters, did you do it?"
"Um."
"Why do you have so many weird things? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"
"Scary."
"Scary?" Qianye felt a little confused. Why did he raise so many zombies just to scare people? He felt that the old man was lying to him.
"Who are you scaring?"
"Those villagers." The old man pointed towards the other side of the mountain with his hand. In the darkness in the distance, there were a few lonely houses standing in the night.
"Scare them? Why scare them?" Qianye continued to ask.
"revenge."
"Did they do anything to you, or your granddaughter?"
"Well, they have beaten me and bullied me before."
"So you just want to raise zombies to scare them?" Qianye felt that there was something wrong with the old man's head.
There are countless ways to take revenge.
This was the first time he had seen someone bully someone who chose to raise zombies to scare people...
"What about these friends of mine? Were they captured by you?" Qianye asked next.
"yes."
"What are you catching them for?"
"Protect them."
"Protection? Why protection? Tell me?" Qianye was surprised.
"Other villagers will look down on outsiders. If they know you are here, they will knock you out and throw you into the well when you are not paying attention." The old man said.
Hear this.
Qianye was really confused.
He turned to look at Anile, who was still tied up, and found that there was also confusion in the other person's eyes.
Obviously, for what the old man did.
She probably doesn't know.
"Then why do you bring your little granddaughter out every night? Why don't you bring the older one?" Qianye asked what Anile had said.
"I came to raise the dead... I brought her because I taught her how to control the dead. I couldn't do anything on my own, so I brought her to help." The old man replied.
If that's right.
The dead people he mentioned should be those zombies.
Qianye almost understood the whole story clearly.
certainly.
Only if the old man tells the truth...
Regarding this twists and turns and bizarre story, Qianye really never thought that there would be such a thing.
He stared at the old man and looked him up and down, wondering whether he should believe what he said.
It's too much to say that I believe it...
If you don't believe it, it would have been a waste of time for him to ask for so long.
"Last question."
"Have you ever killed anyone?" Qianye asked the last question.
"No." The old man shook his head.
"Is there any evidence to prove it?"
"..." The old man was in a daze. How could he prove that he had not killed anyone? How could he prove that he had not done anything?
Should I report all his daily whereabouts and then make an alibi?
Qianye looked at the old man in a daze.
I couldn't help but laugh twice.
He took back his axe, stretched himself, and was ready not to pursue the matter any further.
"Forget it, it's none of my business whether you've harmed anyone, as long as you don't bring your ideas to my head, I, my friends, don't bother you to worry about it."
"Since I've eaten your food, I don't think this happened."
Qianye didn't want to cause too much trouble.
He would also believe what the old man said.
He only needs to stay in this village for a few more days and doesn't want to worry about other things.
As for whether the old man is good or bad.
He actually already knows in his heart whether he has ever harmed anyone...
When the time comes, all you have to do is ask An Yue to come over and take care of it.
After living peacefully for the past few days.
He was about to attend the so-called invitation party, and Qianye didn't want to make himself too tired.
He retracted the worm's tongue wrapped around Aniel's body.
Pushing the wheelchair, he planned to go back to see the condition of the comatose students who were still in the cave...
"By the way, this only happens once. If there is a next time, I will cut off your head."
Chino gradually leaves.
This sentence was left.
only......
The moment he finished speaking, he heard a sudden muffled sound behind him.
He turned around and looked.
The scene before me.
It makes him feel that he is still too kind...
In the field of vision.
The corpses of the two "zombies" were cut into four pieces and fell to the ground. The old man looked at Su Zao with a shocked expression, while Su Zao still raised the finger that had just been drawn in the air.
to be honest.
Chino is angry...
He felt that he should be good enough to the old man. Even though he had caught the evidence, he still chose to trust and let him go under the unreal excuse of the other party.
If it weren't for the thought that the old man, who had half his foot in the coffin, still had two granddaughters who were still dependent on him...
If I didn't think of this old man, he looked a bit like my late grandmother from a certain angle.
That Qianye was probably going to let the worms devour him completely the moment he caught the old man!
Qian Ye feels that he is a good person deep down...
After showing great ability and letting the old man go.
The other party will retreat when faced with difficulties...
But I didn't expect it.
I had already acted so strong just now, but the old man would also switch out "zombie" to plan a sneak attack...
Well, the "zombie" is controlled by the old man.
If his little granddaughter helps him control the "zombie", it's more like using it to deceive an idiot.
Compared to the little granddaughter who is afraid of strangers and timid.
Wouldn't it be better to choose Aniel who is older and more sensible?
Qianye stared at the old man.
Aniel next to her also felt that something was wrong with Qianye's condition...
She seemed to notice something.
Suddenly he ran towards his grandfather, acting as if he wanted to protect him.
but,
A little late.
Su Zao had already taken action one step ahead.
He would not have the hesitations and thoughts of a normal person like Qianye, nor would he have many worries.
His psychology is very simple.
If it doesn't look good, just cut it off...
Maybe it was because I was unhappy with what the old man did, or maybe it was because the old man tied up Chen Yaxuan and made him feel resentful.
all in all.
Just like this, under the eyes of Qianye and Anile.
